Wydale Plastics is a leading UK manufacturer of rotationally moulded products, supplying high‑quality solutions across multiple industries.

As we continue to expand, we are looking for a talented and motivated Tool Shop Project Design Engineer to join our team

The Role:

This is a hands‑on, varied engineering role where you will take ownership of the full tooling lifecycle — from initial CAD design through to tool build, commissioning, and handover to production.

Oversee fabrication, assembly, quality checks, and tool sign‑off.
Support repairs, improvements, and modifications to existing tooling.
Design cooling jigs, trimming jigs, and other production fixtures.
Maintain accurate documentation and update CAD models/drawings as required.
Ensure adequate stock of materials and workshop consumables.
Support daily workflow within the tool shop and wider workshop.

About You:

We’re looking for someone who is practical, proactive, and confident working in a manufacturing environment.

Essential Skills & Experience:

Strong understanding of design or manufacturing engineering.
Competent or advanced user of Autodesk Inventor or similar 3D CAD software.
Ability to interpret and produce engineering drawings.
Good problem‑solving skills and attention to detail.
Strong communication skills (written and verbal).
Self‑motivated, organised, and able to manage multiple projects.

Desirable:

NVQ/HNC/HND or degree in Design Engineering or similar.
Experience in fabrication, production, or toolmaking environments.
Experience with SAGE or similar MRP systems.
Knowledge of health & safety in a factory environment.

What We Offer:

Competitive salary based on experience.
Opportunity to work on varied, technically interesting projects.
Supportive team environment with strong engineering heritage.
Stable, long‑term employment with a well‑established UK manufacturer.

What You Will Receive:

£35,000 - £40,000.00 starting salary, depending on experience
Working hours of Monday to Friday - 38 hours per week
30 days holiday per year increasing with service to 33 days (Includes Bank holidays)
Company workwear
Free parking
Contributory pension scheme
